“Girls” is filming in Brooklyn, in a Victorian Flatbush home
Glenn Close movie, "The Great Gilly Hopkins," set up shop on the same block
Attention Lena Dunham fans! The HBO hit “Girls” is filming in Victorian Flatbush this week – and this house on Westminster Road was where it was happening Wednesday.
Yeah, yeah, we know Brooklyn is a TV- and movie-making mecca, and there are shoots all over the place. But this beautiful house where “Girls” ruled on a sunny May day was one of two sites on the very same block where two completely unrelated projects were happening.
Crews working on “The Great Gilly Hopkins,” a movie starring Glenn Close, Kathy Bates and Danny Glover, were camped out in three houses just up the street.
In this section of Victorian Flatbush, which is referred to as Prospect Park South, lovely century-old homes with verdant lawns and flowering trees are the name of the game.
